Jazz for Curious Listeners
Black History Month: The Women, Ethel Waters
February 5, 2013

We celebrate Black History Month by focusing on four women who broke boundaries by their sheer genius and talent. Please join us for these evening programs where you will not only hear great music, but learn something new about these American icons. Ethel Waters was not only an innovative jazz singer (recording before Louis Armstrong), but also one of the great actresses of the 20th story. She was as broad an influence in her time as Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday. Waters's autobiography, His Eye Is On The Sparrow, will form the basis of our session.
